The reports stated that Britain, instead of withdrawing Government personnel, retained them in the Middle East to promote trade with the Arabs. It i? authoritatively stated in London that the United States Department of State was consulted throughout on arrangements for the Middle East supply centre. It was on the American suggestion that the i present machinery was established, London authorities also are mystified by a reference to a trade agreement. Nothing is known in London of such an agreement.
